...but what surprises Misato the most is the overwhelming amount of trust that she seems to have suddenly inputted into the Creepy Kid with Mysterious Past Kaworu Nagisa Fund. Four different people look at Kaworu and Shinji's relationship. Kaworu and Shinji are too busy being smitten with each other to notice. Kawoshin.

All Shion can do right now is hold him tight enough to keep him together, even though he imagines that at this point the pieces of him are probably littered all over the floor just like the coffee mugs. SPOILERS FOR FINAL EPISODE.

Destiny? Nah. Nothing even close. But this is him, Mello, Mihael Keehl, the rowdy boy who never quite fit, the mafia prodigy and streak of fire cutting his way through the world. Mello, in seven kisses. Oneshot.

Ide isn’t sure when it begins. He remembers how, though - uncomfortable stirrings, an occasional, lingering glance, stuttering, a flush at the back of his neck. He’s had crushes before. He knows what’s happening. IdexMatsuda, one-sided. Oneshot.

Sebastian likes cats. They are noble, elegant, and beautiful, all while being quite adorable and intelligent. Young master Ciel, he’s noticed, is a bit like a cat. Thus, concludes the butler, Sebastian must like Ciel quite a bit. SebxCiel. Shounen-ai.

My answer to a 100 drabble challenge. This is the biggest thing I've ever attempted, so feedback would be very nice. : Pairings and genres vary, there's probably something here for everyone. Rated for some language and implied situations

You've been an observer for the most part when characters die in Death Note. But now you can get into their minds, see what they're thinking as they breathe their last breath, live with them as they remember their lost memories. More coming if interested.

Because it is apparently impossible for L and Raito-kun to do anything normally. Shameless crack with a completely messed-up timeline, if only because this is the only way I can imagine any sort of romance between our two super-genii.

"Before you and I met, I think we were considered strangers." There's a pause. It's not like Kaworu to pause. Then, on little more than a whisper, he says, "Yet I wonder if you'd believe me if I said that wasn't true." / Kawoshin. Some hints of 3.0 verse. M for lengthy smut.

Elliot likes Gilbert – and to pretend otherwise even while the man is a drunken, sad-eyed, pouting mess is just as useless now as it ever was before. / Two brothers share a quiet moment in the garden. Set during ten year time skip.

And Vincent wonders if it's even his place to feel anything so soft, anything so lovely. / Vincent helps Gilbert tie his hair back - a gentle moment between two doomed brothers. Onesided Vincent/Gilbert.

Three months following the fall of Kira, Hal Lidner struggles to pull her life back together. But of course, Matsuda, in a flurry of drunken confessions and nightmares, has ways of changing that plan entirely.

A wrongful execution. A case of desperation. Betrayal and forbidden relations, all occurring behind a veil of a parallel world, in which what you are is what will kill you on the other side. Dark AU. LxMisaxLight. MelloxMatt. Rating will change.

..."Ishida never would have guessed that the prettiest girl in his class, graceful scarlet flitting around the room like a merry mist, would ever be sleeping on the grass just two feet away from him." A first kiss oneshot. Ishihime. Flustered and cute.
